✅ SIGNED: Special Session HB 2, legalizing adult-use cannabis in New Mexico!

The law will also let people with previous marijuana convictions expunge their records and allow people currently serving a sentence for a marijuana-related crime to be eligible for resentencing, according to a report by
Vox.
New Mexico legalized marijuana for medical purposes back in 2007.
Recreational cannabis is legal in 16 other states and Washington, D.C. The signing in New Mexico follows similar measures approved in New York and Virginia, the latter being the first southern state to embrace recreational cannabis.
